Duplicate Simultaneous Recordings - NEWA

[UncleJohnsBand]

Very strange... I came back this morning and it is all working again. I saw where another user posted earlier today about seeing the same thing from inside NPVR, so I'm thinking whatever mine was it isn't a NEWA problem.

Thanks for letting me know.

I think we can call my bug squashed finally. I haven't seen any duplicates using NEWA since I loaded the last patch.

Just so you know, the issue with a recording in progress being duplicated by the EPG update is a known issue going back several releases of NPVR. Sub hasn't exactly said it's on his to-be-fixed list, at least not to me, but I've reported it enough times it has to be. My solution has been to just move my EPG update time around to avoid any scheduled recordings; for awhile I had a recording at 3am, so I moved it to 4am, then I had a recording at 4am but none at 3am so I went back to 3am, then the 2am recording shifted a little and didn't end until 3:04am so I went back to 4am. It's more annoying than anything, but presumably will be fixed before NextPVR (or whatever it's going to be called) comes out of beta.

edit: I've reported this issue here: http://forums.gbpvr.com//showthread.php?...duplicated

Last night the same 2 programs that have been recording twice for me did it again. I immediately cancelled both of them and the single recordings kept going. Both were recording at the exact same time (both shows on at 8pm). About 30 minutes later, still during the recording, I manually updated the EPG and sure enough, the duplicates started again. I was pretty sure this was the problem all along but I was finally able to see for myself.

Yea...sub is aware of it....but due to real-life work responsibilities he hasn't had time to investigate. The patch I posted here earlier did in-fact fix another issue connected to auto-record causing duplicates.....but this dups from EPG load is still an outstanding bug.
